More quotes by Miguel de Unamuno
True science teaches, above all, to doubt and be ignorant.
Miguel de Unamuno
All knowledge has an ultimate goal. Knowledge for the sake of knowledge is, say what you will, nothing but a dismal begging of the question.
Miguel de Unamuno
My work...is to shatter the faith of men here, there, and everywhere, faith in affirmation, faith in negation, and faith in abstention from faith, and this for the sake of faith in faith itself.
Miguel de Unamuno
Was man made for science, or was science made for man?
Miguel de Unamuno
The truth is that reason is the enemy of life.
Miguel de Unamuno
Those faults we do not have, do not bother us.
Miguel de Unamuno
Is there anything more terrible than a call? It affords an occasion for the exchange of the most threadbare commonplaces. Calls and the theatre are the two great centers for the propagation of platitudes.
Miguel de Unamuno
Piensa el sentimiento, siente el pensamiento. (roughly translated, Think about the emotional and feel the intellectual)
Miguel de Unamuno
The tears of anguish irritate and excite but those of repentance are the ones that wash.
Miguel de Unamuno
At times to be silent is to lie. You will win because you have enough brute force. But you will not convince. For to convince you need to persuade. And in order to persuade you would need what you lack: Reason and Right
Miguel de Unamuno
We need God, not in order to understand the why, but in order to feel and sustain the ultimate wherefore, to give a meaning to the universe.
Miguel de Unamuno
It is truer to say that martyrs create faith more than faith creates martyrs.
Miguel de Unamuno
What is certain is that for thinking believers to-day, faith is, before all and above all, wishing that God may exist.
Miguel de Unamuno
Chemistry ought to be not for chemists alone.
Miguel de Unamuno
Science is the most intimate school of resignation and humility, for it teaches us to bow before the seemingly most insignificant of facts.
Miguel de Unamuno
And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy, just as the essence of tragedy is killing eternity.
Miguel de Unamuno
Science is a cemetery of dead ideas, even though life may issue from them.
Miguel de Unamuno
Martyrs create faith, faith does not create martyrs.
Miguel de Unamuno
Whenever a man talks he lies, and so far as he talks to himself - that is to say, so far as he thinks, knowing that he thinks - he lies to himself. The only truth in human life is that which is physiological. Speech - this thing that they call a social product - was made for lying.
Miguel de Unamuno
Human beliefs, like all other natural growths, elude the barrier of systems.
Miguel de Unamuno
